MANCHESTER, N.H. - In response to Republican front-runner for President Donald Trump’s statements this evening, NHDP Chair Raymond Buckley made the following statement:

“Once again, the Republican front-runner Donald Trump continues to back up hateful comments with policy ideas that are not only wrong, they rip our country apart. Does Kelly Ayotte continue to stand by her statement that Trump’s candidacy was ‘positive thing,’ when her party’s front-runner continues to fuel radical extremists by refusing to stand up for the things Americans believe in?”

“While the Republican favorite for President continues to try and divide us, I am proud to support candidates that fight for everyone - no matter their race, ethnicity, class, creed, gender, or sexual orientation.”
